School Talks: 
I also regularly visit schools around the country to give talks about the Classical World. In 2011 I have continued to speak at schools across the country, including as part of the Mayor of London's 'Classics in Schools' initiative. In 2010, I worked with The Latin Programme - via facilis, which provides Latin teachers to state primary schools www.thelatinprogramme.co.uk. I spent a week teaching 8-10 years olds across London about what Romans looked liked and how they dressed, from the Emperor to the Gladiators in the arena. “Michael Scott's talk was engaging, interesting and provocative. It was thoroughly enjoyed by the children who clearly enjoyed learning from such an authority on Roman culture. In 2009, I spoke at the East Midlands Association of Classics Teachers 6th Form Classics Day and the British Museum ancient world AS and A2 study day, as well as at schools around the country. In 2008 I visited schools in London, Rugby and Huddersfield as well as speaking at a schools day held in Cambridge on the subject of death in the ancient world.
